Sandbox – 25mar19

[OK boys and girls, now it’s time to talk about the massive mega-lies the Democrats and their lamestream media lackeys have been telling us for the last two years. To begin, I have to confess to a large error, before Russiagate I thought that the journalistic profession was the demonstrated refuge of mostly ass-kissing ignorameouses, my opinion of the commentariat and the news media was pretty low. I was totally off base, because it wasn’t anywhere near low enough. They have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate themselves as a herd of evil snipes who have no regard for their lightly read audiences as they continue their crusade of lies and innuendo to bring down a legitimately elected administration, diverting the electorate’s attention from its achievements and urgent national needs – e.g. education, immigration, debt, … . gjr]

They say Stage One (denial) is the hardest stage to get past. Look at the bright side. It’s better than when they got stuck in Stage Two (anger) for the last 2 1/2 years. Always a silver lining. The fainting couch and Moral Puritan Outrage needed a break, anyway. We will have to wait another lifetime for Stage 3.

Walt was factually correct on the Muller report on the President. The troll's question @520 may well get a pretrial answer from the DOJ IG report on the FISA abuse and FBI violations including the Comey she did it but she didn't mean it presser. Intent is not part of the applicable statue.

Hey you guys, I would be willing to take some of your wharehouse full of popcorn off your hands at a steep discount of course, but none of that out of date stuff. Time for the real fun!

CNN's golden boy. 😫😲"Celebrity attorney and CNN analyst Mark Geragos is the co-conspirator cited in a federal indictment handed down Monday against attorney Michael Avenatti, according to The Wall Street Journal."

That's the pony tail of ignorance's line from 2016 @tripple nickel , remember, he would quit before the inauguration was my fav.

Who saw Schifftys crying eyes yesterday or todays where is the evidence MR. Chairman??? I loved the panic when he reversed course and was looking for a flight route away from that question. Classic. Bet those end up in commercials!!

Well they may be bat shit crazy they do provide endless comic stylings to laugh at.

George Papadopoulos
@GeorgePapa19
John: all the assets you weaponized against me are being outed in London, Canberra and Rome. Mifsud, Halper, Downer, Tawil etc. congress has the names, my testimony and foreign governments are now cooperating with the Trump administration to out the rest. Good luck.

Another reminder of why the historic gain in the Senate was epic and not just about the judiciary. Lots of Mea Culpas in the mix now. I can not say if they will drain the swamp or not but it sure looks like the toilet is being flushed. -

Lindsey Graham Calls For Another Special Counsel To Probe Trump, Clinton Investigations

WASHINGTON ― Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he’s planning to use his authority as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate what he called “disturbing” FBI actions over the Hillary Clinton email probe and the origins of the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election.

You know, we all need to give a big shout out and applause to Michael the Creepy born star lawyer. Seriously. Remember Kavanaugh? Pressure out of this world. Second accuser came out (didn’t know she had mental problems at the time), the screamers...oh, what a mess. RInos folding. Trump was really to pull the nomination.
Then Avenatti came strutting out with this Brit Kavanaugh secret serial gang rape story and that brought us back from the brink. Game changer. They overreached. Thank you Michael Avenatti. Wish you well.
The Left does not know how Left they really are. The media, the political leaders, the unhinged, the addicted to outrage, you name it, they see themselves as not radical. No self awareness.

Every Championship Team will tell you they got there with a little bit of luck. Good timing. And we got to see all the Dem Senators lined up in a row in their chairs of contempt. Sweet. Coons thought ‘boof’ meant gang rape astanding aside Stolen Valor Bloomenthaul. Lol.

"In the 21 midterm elections held since 1934, only twice has the president's party gained seats in both the Senate and the House: Franklin Delano Roosevelt's first midterm election and George W. Bush's first midterm election. On three other occasions, the president's party gained House seats and once it was a draw. On one occasion, the president's party gained Senate seats. The worst midterm losses tend to occur in a president's first term."

“Another reason: the so-called "presidential penalty," or the tendency of more voters to go the polls only when they are angry. If more angry voters vote than do satisfied voters, the president's party loses. In the United States, voters typically express dissatisfaction with the president's party and remove some of his senators and members of the House of Representatives. Midterm elections provide a check on the president's power and give power to the electorate.”

Tossing out the numbers, could only find one time in the incumbent’s first term when he lost House seats and picked up a few in the Senate. 1970, Richard Milhoouse Nixon.

Think there is only a 13% chance of that happening in our Nation’s history.. Could have been worse, averge is -23 or something. Done good considering how pissed off they were. Beat the odds.

Looking ahead, NM and Al might be in play in the Senate. Still sticking with Beto. His supporters are not and have no intention to listening to the media on what they should be thinking. Yes, Biden is the only wise choice and he done his apology tour for being an old white non-woke man and Uncle Joe has name recognition. Scranton, PA, boy. But, toss wisdom out the window. Gilliban is the first of the bigger ones to drop out.

Time will tell. At this point last time, Tthe Donald was still 3 months away from descending the Golden Elevator with a Twitter machine in his pocket.

From that list, it looks pretty typical. It also seems like DonB statement was correct. It *is* quite unusual for the President's party to gain Senate seats. Good for them. Those numbers things are tricky though.

Quick, back to the sad faces at the cappuccino machine at News Central. Maybe some Trump sub-adviser didn't pay a hooker in 1988. (Notice I didn't say 'stiffed', it's in keeping with the Circle's decorum).

LIB news in protection mode? Not a peep from "RED" Cortez,
or the Muslim Anti Semites.
The Queen of the DAMNed just held a vote to overide Trump's VETO.
Goes down in flames.. But Nan knew that from the start.
The WALL gets built.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is nearing a victory over Democrats as the House tries overriding his first veto , a vote that seems certain to fail and would let stand his declaration of a national emergency at the Mexican border.

Changing gears back to the Inquisition.....or PC. If you won’t want to read the long interview, you can just look at the pictures. I did at first go around. :) Kinda like buying an old Playbook for the articles. From a conversative (?) satirist.

“The media and late night comedy are, right now, arms of the political left, the Democratic Party…I don’t think it’s some conspiracy where they’re hired by these companies [or parties]…but they all schmooze together and it’s kinda like an echo chamber; it’s the acceptable expression. It went from the audience laughing to applauding, which is agreeing.

“I think that’s the biggest mistake they’ve made, thinking that applause is funny. It’s not, it’s agreement. And the rest of the country doesn’t necessarily agree. They have very narrow viewpoints in what they’re pushing, but the illusion is that that represents the rest of the country. They think they’re still at the cool table. The cool table rotted away and they’re the last ones to know. It’s one-sided.”

The initial correspondence started when Michelle Obama's former chief of staff, Tina Tchen, emailed Foxx to say that she was reaching out on behalf of Jussie's family to express "concerns" they had with how the investigation at that point was being handled.
Jussie had not been charged with a crime yet, but it's believed Chicago PD was already doubting his story and leaking info to the press pushing that narrative.
Foxx responded to Tchen on Feb. 1, saying ... "Spoke to Superintendent Johnson. I convinced him to Reach out to FBI to ask that they take over the investigation. He is reaching out now and will get back to me shortly."
The same day, an unnamed relative of Jussie's texted Foxx herself, as well, and Foxx said she was working on getting the case sent over to the FBI. The relative replied, "Omg this would a huge victory." Foxx then responded, "I make no guarantees, but I'm trying."
Later, Foxx recused herself from the case when Jussie became a suspect. And, of course, her office just announced Tuesday that it was dropping all of the charges against Jussie, after coming out strong with a 16-count indictment just weeks earlier.

So even with these tactics they were unable to find any rancid Russian dressing. He got all of 14 days and has now filed a petition for a pardon with DOJ -

In his interview with lawmakers, Papadopoulos says an FBI agent asked him during a 2017 encounter to wear a wire to a record future conversations with the Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud, who he has said told him about the "dirt."
"And he basically told me that Washington wants answers and you're at the center of this, something like that to make it seem like I was in some deep trouble if I wasn't going to wear a wire against this person," Papadopoulos said, describing his conversation with the agent. "I rejected it."

Papadopoulos has been promoting a new book called "Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump."

Some fool named Orloff is praising Angela Davis over at the Union. And the paper says no comments yet until they transition over to a new format. Anyway Davis was in the Black Panthers and part of the group that murdered a Judge and others back in the early 70's. And then the UC system hired the communist to teach the kids. This is why we have to take baclk te education system from the scum of the left. And the Orloff guy needs a history lesson./

Looks like smollet has some connections. The prosecutor Fox was a Kamala Harris understudy and she got a call from Michelle Obama and others to boot this guy out. 17 felonies and indictments by a Grand Jury be damned. So I guess when Trump pardons all those people Mueller todded in jail and bankruptcy, the left will wholeheartedly agree?

Borowicz thanked Jesus, “the King of Kings; the Lord of lords; the great I Am; the One who’s coming back again; the One who came, died, and rose again on the third day,” for the honor of being His ambassador, asked forgiveness on behalf of America for forgetting Him and for Him to heal the country, praised Him for President Donald Trump’s support of Israel and declared that “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow.” "

Democratic Pennsylvania State Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, the first female Muslim representative in the state’s legislature, decried the Monday prayer as offensive, as did state Democratic leadership.

You that mentally incapacitated Emery? You have GOV car insurance?
GOV Homeowners insu.?
If you want a gov. to give you things,, move to where it is.
Otherwise, buy what you can afford. That's the American way.

So Walt what should be done to help provide healthcare for children from poor families? Also under your plan for health care who should help with assistance to a friend of mine whose son has cystic fibrosis? The boy would have died years ago without medical help which is very expensive for that disease.

Life ain't fair Paul. It never will be. I have a kid with a life threatening disease as well. Will she live to make it to next month? No one knows. She and the Son in law have insurance they pay for.
Thank the Lord it isn't "O"care.
So Yes, old dude I have skin in the game.
What she needs Your beloved government mandated plans would NEVER pay for.. Let alone being able to pay for.
You would crap yourself if you knew what the "orphin" drugs cost.
No "O" care plan would ever cover it.
With that,, go screw yourself.

You want your "free" health care Emery? Your a VET(or so you say) The VA is right down the hill.. (Or over it in Reno)
That's what I have. It's better than nothing. OH... My mistake.. You bragged already that your on Geezer care. Since that's the case,, STFU.

Grandpa Joe just flushed his working class voters in the swing rust belt states down the toilet. Sure, suck up to the left and trash what was perceived as his possible advantage as an old white guy! Did 0 tell him to do the apology tour?? Bet he did, Michelle likes the beto. -

Thanks all... We all have to play with the cards we are dealt.
Good, bad or indifferent. That's just the way it is.
So we choose to be happy for every day we have.

I'm sure Emery hasn't thought of some gov. book keeper saying the taxpayer has spent enough on the problem. Cut the treatments off. He has a bonus to think of for keeping costs down.. And there is never any recourse.. Good luck suing the government for piss poor health care. Those people have immunity.
Not a bit different than worker's comp insurance. They fuck you over too. Those bastards stopped paying for the injury I have a LONG time ago. Yet they still "own it". Emery's friends in Sac just keep writing laws screwing the worker with long term injuries.

Too late for that Ozz. Trump has already found a way to blow it with his healthcare debacle. Healthcare will be the pork chop around his neck in a pack of dogs that he will be totally unable to deal with.

“In the state-funded study , there were 2,567 emergency visits at the Denver hospital caused by marijuana from 2012-2016. It's not just tourists; 9 out of 10 cases were Colorado residents.

Seventeen percent of the visits were for uncontrolled bouts of vomiting. It was most often from inhaled marijuana, not edibles.

Twelve percent of the cases were for acute psychosis, where people without a history of mental disorders lose touch with reality. That was more frequently seen with edibles.”

Intoxication and heart problems were other common complaints.

Emergency room records from Monte's hospital show a three-fold increase in marijuana cases since the state became the first to allow sales of recreational marijuana in January 2014. Nearly a third of patients were admitted to the hospital, evidence of severe symptoms, Monte said.

In 2012, the ER saw an average of one patient every other day with a marijuana-caused problem. By 2016, the count was two to three per day.

Paul Emery, getting ready to explain healthcare in Denmark sez:
"Trump has already found a way to blow it with his healthcare debacle."

No problemo, just get the Great State of California to fire up it's own system. A single party state should be able to do that much. Ironically, you do get the problem of proving CA citizenship, but what the heck.

Truth is, healthcare will hang around the neck of any President. Everybody wants free health insurance, but no one can supply it. An awful lot of people who are filled with opinions have never been in the private insurance market and have no idea how expensive this stuff really is.

A good side question is this. How much of the nation's healthcare could you buy if you zeroed out the military budget? That, or TAXING THE RICH! always seem to be the solutions offered. Another laughable theory I run into is that all the money goes to insurance executives. If anyone bothered to look at their yearly reports, they'd notice that executive total compensation packages aren't even a rounding error in the cashflow.

If Climate Change is so urgent, why was AOC so upset thatvthe Senate voted on it today? Said the need hearings and studies.....as we are all going to be destroyed in the meantime? Typical of the Leftinistas. They start off all bubbly, bright eyed, and bushy tailed.....then morph into always angry complaining bitches. Unfun to be around.

Single payer berry berry bad for seniors. Vote for Kamala. Vote for Bernie.

“Perhaps the best rebuttal to “Medicare for None” came from, of all people, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD). In a speech on the House floor in September 2009, Hoyer said:

“At some point in time, my friends, we have to buck up our courage and our judgment and say, if we take care of everybody, we won’t be able to take care of those who need us most. That’s my concern. If we take care of everybody, irrespective of their ability to pay for themselves, the Ross Perots of America, frankly, the Steny Hoyers of America, then we will not be able to take care of those most in need in America.
Therein lies the true flaw in the left’s logic. Whereas the president’s budget would work to protect Medicare for vulnerable seniors, Schatz, Sanders, and their supporters would liquidate the Medicare trust fund to finance “free” health care for Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. The choice between the two paths seems as obvious as it is clear.”

The democrats are self destructing. Trump will have a cake walk over anyone they put forth. Healtcare now is a disaster and expensive. And the R;'s simply show how much free stuff the democrats give to illegfals (&$,000) a year and their party will be toast. Free matkets. And even pre existing conditions will be covered.

The media perpetuated a false claim from presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for months, insisting that all 17 intelligence agencies agree that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. The New York Times, for example, rated that claim as true only to later say the exact opposite.

Only four intelligence agencies ultimately deemed Russia responsible for meddling because the other 13 have no business making judgments on the claim. As The NYT succinctly explained, “The rest were doing other work.”

Mental healthcare: Doogski Award

Republicans Funded The Dossier!

A number of news outlets have consistently claimed that Republicans initially paid for the anti-Trump Steele dossier, failing to note that Steele wasn’t even contracted by Fusion GPS until after the GOP donors pulled funding. The Republican donors say they paid Fusion for standard opposition research and that they have zero connection to the dossier.

The media has perpetuated this falsehood so consistently that even former FBI director James Comey was confused, repeating the lie in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier.

The sad thing for the Democrats is that Trump is a rarity, a 'Republican' who would likely be in favor of nudging towards Democratic needs in that area and could bring enough of his party with them.

Instead, we get treated to two years of frantic insanity concerning things that don't matter a whit. I'm afraid that the Prez is now hardened against the Left and is much less likely to listen to them. A missed opportunity, really.

It isn't like the real problems are much fixable at this point. It's like repairing an airplane in-flight, and none of your ideas really work very well. The Laws of Unintended Consequences abound.

In terms of healthcare, dunno why building a payment monopsony is viewed as some kind of magic bullet, aside from dragging everyone to the same low level. Fairness over efficacy I guess. It's like greenhouse gases, if everyone just drove a big ol' Subaru wagon instead of a 1/2 ton F150, we could save the planet. We live in the Land of Innumeracy and Half-Baked Nonprofits.

The GOV. has no business running health care.
It needs to stay the hell out of it.But since you seem to approve of dictatorships,, just what else should a gov. demand you buy, weather you want it or not? (gun ownership I could get behind)
Then fine you if you don't.

Paul Emery is back with yet another fact of life:
"Healthcare will be the pork chop around his neck in a pack of dogs that he will be totally unable to deal with."
Translation: "All the other stuff fell apart, so let's go after Trump with this angle."
Hope springs eternal.
Go get em' tiger!

“Because, after all, Lee said: How else would you travel to Hawaii if air travel is banned?

“At that distance, swimming would be out of the question. And Jet Skis are notorious gas-guzzlers. No, all residents of Hawaii would be left with … is this,” Lee said, tongue firmly placed in cheek as he pointed to a large poster of Aquaman.
“I draw your attention, Mr. President, to the 20-foot seahorse he is riding.
"Under the Green New Deal, this is probably Hawaii’s best bet. Now, I’m the first to admit that a massive fleet of giant, trained seahorses would be very cool. But we have no idea about scalability or domestic capacity in this sector.”

——-Hmmmm. Some people have no sense of humor, nor are easily amused.

“After Lee’s presentation, Hawaii’s senators weren’t laughing.
In fact, U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz took to the Senate floor to excoriate Lee on the spectacle.
“This is the crisis of our generation, but this is not a joke,” said Schatz, D-Hawaii.
“I have to say on behalf of everyone in Hawaii, on behalf of young people who care about this ... this isn’t funny. And this requires the party in charge of the United States Senate to take it seriously.”
U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, was also left incensed.’

I think rather than the giant seahorse for transportation, a silly imaginary being, they should look to the trimaran sailed by the mutant Mariner (Kevin Costner) in Waterworld, an early apocalyptic vision of catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Wierding.

Regarding the dreaded Climate Change, there is a danger of poking too much fun too soon before the inevitable cooling that is coming becomes evident, but "From the people who brought you the Mueller Russia Investigation" might be a good way to frame them.

EVERYONE who was incensed at my failure to go apoplectic with them over Trump being a traitor (Putin cuddling, anyone?) is also incensed over my failure to accept their lead in foaming at the mouth over Global Warming.

Gotta laugh at idiot LIBS running for President.https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/27/hickenlooper-fossil-fuel-pledge/
"While speaking to prospective voters at a local bar in Newmarket, New Hampshire, Hickenlooper stepped into an awkward situation when one audience member asked if he would sign the No Fossil Fuel Pledge — an oath not to knowingly accept campaign donations of over $200 from the oil, gas and coal industry.
The former Democratic governor, at first, quickly agreed to sign the pledge, and even took it a step further by saying he would not accept any dollar amount from fossil fuel corporations.
“I’m crossing out the $200,” Hickenlooper told the audience. “I’m not going to take any corporate donations at all.”

However, when Griffin Sinclair-Wingate, a member with the New Hampshire Youth Movement, later clarified to Hickenlooper that the pledge included not just corporations, but individuals tied to fossil fuel companies as well, the Democratic candidate crossed his name out and said it was an “impossible” pledge to abide by."

Kinda like voting for gov health care, before seeing how much it's going to BK ya'.

The Leftinista media sees conspiracy theories everywhere and have no sense of humor. Nor do they understand sarcasm well. From a Lefty media hit piece on Mr. X.

“Outrage is Mr. X’s default emotion. He is outraged that America is being plundered by a Washington elite he once personified. He is outraged that the media and politicians are conspiring to hold the country down (he is prone to conspiracy theories in his personal life, too — he complains to me that having to travel to upstate New York for his granddaughter's recital is “some kind of gambit” designed to financially exploit him). And, most of all, he is outraged that he wasn’t listened to.....”for three years no one has paid attention to what I’ve said,” speaking with Trump-like wounded pride. “The country rose up.”

‘Mr. X had been blasting the polls showing Hillary ahead, saying they were wrong and pollsters were conspiring to elect her.”

Well, it’s only a paranoia conspiracy theory until you are proven right. :)

This new "right to die" law will morph into "duty to die" like any LIB inspired laws.
Remember?MMJ? "WE are only trying to legalize medicine.. We have NO intention of legalizing rec. use." We saw how that played out.

Old people will get to expensive to take care of. Health care is needed for the young. (especially if government is running it)

And with Global cooling on the way, food will be harder to grow. People will starve.
Soylent Green,, will soon be reality.
Just like the AGW gang says the movie "day after tomorrow" is already here.

Looks like the mental illness now exposed in the rump haters and truthers is here in our county too. Paul Emery and OOZE believe the "dossier" is true along with Swalwell and Hironi and most dems in Congress. I think it is a virus and has made them all delusional.

“Well Bill,, The Reps from Hawaii sure didn't come up with any suggestions.”

Ah contraire, my good man. It’s their suggestions that is the spice of life. Did rather enjoy Sen. Mike Lee demonstrating the Right’s seriousness on the matter with the Cold War era poster of Ronald Reagan riding a dinosaur with a machine gun ablazing.

Morning quote of the day: “When you can make Mike Lee look funny, you know you are on the wrong side of the issue.” —-some pundit Robert Cross and Dogski say I must not listen to. :)

@ 9:11 am.
Yep, Hickenlooper is in the news a lot lately. So is Watergate. First he took his Mother to see a Watergate movie, now the pledge.

“Hickenlooper stepped into an awkward situation when one audience member asked if he would.....”

“And it’s also possible that the Mueller disappointment drove loyal viewers away in much the same way that people avoid looking at their 401(k)s when the stock market is down. Maddow, who has consistently vied for the first or second top-rated cable news program, was sixth on Monday evening, down almost 500,000 total viewers from the previous Monday, as was MSNBC’s second top-rated program in primetime, The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell.”

Ouch! I am wounded. Liars! Liar? Moi? I just don’t know what to say. Oh my. Time for little marshmallows in my hot chocolate make with love and warm milk. Liar? Moi?

Oh contraire, my silly little man. I believe it was you who boldly declared you would never dialogue with my Brother Walt on these pages. What say you? Yes, you.

“Walt

Once again can you outline Trumps health care p;an? thanks in advance. You surely must know what it is.”

Let’s pivot to 2020! Quick!

“There are good teachers and bad teachers, underpaid teachers and overpaid teachers. Senator Harris’s scheme has nothing to do with any of those issues, which are best addressed at the local level. Her proposal is not at heart about education at all. It’s an opening bid for the 2020 Democratic primary, and a high one.”

In other stories... Nevada County went GOP in the latest special election... 54% vs 46% DEM. The runoff election will give us a choice between a Republican and a Republican, and, if I remember my will Rogers lore, that means we'll choose a Republican this time.
